The 2024 NFL preseason ends this weekend with about a dozen games on Saturday and Sunday, including an afternoon game Saturday between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Detroit Lions. The Lions are 1-1 in the preseason, while the Steelers are 0-2. In the wake of two disappointing losses, the question of who would lead the Steelers’ offense was up in the air; on Wednesday, the Steelers confirmed that QB Russell Wilson will start against the Lions in this final preseason game, and not Justin Fields.

The Steelers vs. Lions game kicks off Saturday at 1 p.m. ET on NFL Network. Here’s all the info you need about today’s game, plus the dates and times for all the remaining preseason games, and how to watch the whole NFL preseason.
